Hi, I have two problems which I noticed with my LG.
1) It refuses to let me do anything like unlock bootloader, or wipe data. I tried wiping from recovery, and I tried wiping from system menu, I just get a screen which says it's going to wipe, but then an error, and I reboot and no wiping took place. I also tried to use the Toolkit for unlocking bootloader, and it seemed to be working, it booted into recovery, prompted me to press Vol UP i think if I wanted to unllock bootloader, and I did, and then it says that unlocking bootloader will require wiping data. I wait and I wait because it says please wait, but nothing happens, data is never wiped. I would like to wipe, flash other ROMs, but it doesn't seem possible. I'm running V20A, but flashed, not installed through LG software. Maybe this flashing had something to do with it?
2) I am having problems charging my phone. It's like the charger keeps connecting and disconnecting, as if I were removing and reattaching it repeatedly. I tried an HTC OEM charger, I tried a USB cable I had for 3 years and connecting it to the laptop, and I tried using my sister's charger from eBay. Of them all, the one from eBay worked best, it still disconnected from time to time, but not so much. It's like, at even the lightest touch, the charger disconnects, like it's loose. I tried these chargers with my sister's HTC Explorer, and they all work fine. I also don't have the LG OEM charger don't know where it is, but these chargers I'm using all used to work fine before.

1) Long story short plug your hone and flash it again with some other stock rom that is NOT for your phone's market and then try to root it and unlock it again if that doesnt do it then plug it again and update it regulary since lg will see that you have not matching rom with your phones market.(for example i have 20c euro xxx rom and my phone is for CWT network even so if i plug it in lg softwer i can update it to CWT rom).Be shure to flash OPEN Euro xxx version.
2) if you get that kind of problems even when you plug your phone to computer via USB then it is connector problem (at least i think so) and you should go and service your phone.
Keep in mind that this is just my opinion what should you do it isnt 100% working and it isnt 100% easyest way to do it.Try and see for your self.
P.S. after every flash make sure you do a factory reset of previous rom just to be shure.

Hello,
My G1 stopped receiving usb notifications. each time i connect it to a computer,the battery charges but i get no notifications about the usb.which means, i cannot mount it to a computer.
I run Cyanogen mod 5.0.7 test2, but i dont think its related since its started a couple of days after i installed the new rom.
i also tried it on different computers/usb cables, seems like its device related.
Anyone has any idea?
TIA,
Roy
use fix permissions option in recovery
it works for me
or
simply restart your phone while connected to the pc
It is device related, if you have a recovery that supports usb mounting from it, I suggest go there and mount your phone if you need to get something onto your device asap. If you have time, a full wipe fixed the problem for me.
Just tried the fix_permissions with no success.
the weird thing is that even in recovery mode, when i enable usb mass storage i still dont get anything!!
i'm trying to avoid a full wipe ,and starting to feel like it's a rom issue, anyone thinks the same?
Same Problem
I too have the same issue. Incase you have any solution let us know. I did some search in google but could not find any thing.
Nandroid, wipe, reflash, and retry. Retry with a different ROM and a fresh wipe maybe. You always need to wipe and reflash when you run into errors like this. Like it or not.
However, if that doesn't work, try a few different USB cords. Maybe something happened to yours, or the one you're using doesn't support a G1. Some companies rig theirs to work with just their product.
Edit: Just noticed you tried different cables and computers... How many different cables? Have you just tried your original one and then another one? Or about 3 - 5 maybe? These are quite common cables, and anyone you know should have at least one or two.
this happened to me a few times after i flashed cyans 5.07 test2 rom and all i did was restart and the notification came back. hope that helps.
Happens to me too with T1-T3. I can just reboot with the cable installed and it will mount once the phone is up.

Same thing. This actually happened to me today and a restart brought it back.
I have the same issue
and everyday I have to reboot the phone while connected to the usb cord
to have the phone recognized.
alternative: try using dual mount sd widget out on the market. It lets you mount your SD card and still use the apps on the phone.
It won't start unless plugged it shows empty battery. sometimes when i unplug it stays connected. In usb settings if choose mass storage it seems to get in a loop of connect-disconnect. I have tried flashing different roms but it didn't fix. Any idea of what is happening? Could it be hardware problem?
I've got the same problem, I've tried every kind of wipe, flash with repartition, clearing stats and so on. I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware issue. The Phone seems to always think it's plugged into USB no matter what, it keeps rebooting to the battery icon over and over until I plug it onto a power source and then it boots fine.
After that I can get it back to normalish by rebooting with the power disconnected using the extended power menu in Darkys Rom.
Can anyone help? When I get back from my trip I'll likely flash it back to stock and send it in for repair, or just ***** at bell and get another new phone.
I'm having the same issue, I've searched all over internet and I found other posts with the same problem.. and no one has found a solution for this.
I think is a hardware problem. after having this I've bought a chinese compatible battery, and when I put that battery in, the phone boots up without even pressing the power on button, so weeeird!
With the original one.. there is no way to boot up without plug the phone. I've had the phone working well for more than 5 months
if someone finds a solution please tell!
thanks in advanced!
I had the some problem and more. I did something and this one has gone. I think i replaced a new update.zip in the phone and that solve it but i am not 100% sure. My phone starts normal but when its off sometimes the battery still flashes. In a week or so i will send it to waranty i think.

what did you did? so do you think it's a software problem?
I tried to use a non-original battery and when I put in this new battery, the phone boots up without even press any button. so something it's really wrong. if I try the same with the original battery.. nothing happens, the screen is black unless I plug the phone to the charger.
well, at least I can boot my phone without plugging it this way.
I look forward to know more details about this issue.
thanks!
I look forward to know more details about this issue.

unfortunately I've done the search in this forum and I haven't found any solution for this, I can't believe it!
regards!
This problem is back again. I can`t start the phone unless it is plugged. I am with the nervs down at this moment.
what makes me crazy is to not know if it's a software or hardware failure!
in my case seems to be a hardware problem unless the phone recognize the non original battery and that makes a software change that makes the phone to boot.
I'll wait until the gingerbread update, and if after update it doesn't work, I will bring the phone to samsung repair point.
I see that I'm not alone with this problem.
Maby if i could connect the phone on usb to pc i would do something but that dosent work either for me so god have mercy.
I had that problem for a few weeks. Went away with a firmware change. Flashed back to stock and then docs rom. No idea what it was. Just went away.
Are you sure the battery is charged? I had the exact same problem on cm7, turned out my battery ran flat overnight

Try this:
Format all your mounts in recovery mode with Clockworkmod. You can do this by going to 'mounts and storage' and formatting boot, system, data, cache. I did sdcard and sd-ext to be sure).
When you have done that install a 2.2.1 stock rom and the problem should be fixed. From here you can install custom rom's again.
Also try disabling any lagfixes (also via CMW)

OK, I'll do that thanks for the suggestion.
I only have one more doubt left, If I do that, after formating everything in clockworkmod.. What does it happens to the phone? is it going to be able to boot after formating all of this? I'm asking this because I don't know how to download the official rom without using kies and the phone booted up and connected via usb cable.
thanks so much!
I've got the same problem.
I thought it was me trying to flash JVK, but after flashing and reflashing 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 and back with bootloaders the problem stayed. I'll try the format "everything" from CWM, hope this will work.
Still abit strange
(BTW I recently was in sub 15 degrees temperatures, surely this isn't the case??)
I had a problem like this where I was getting USB connected coming up again and again and my phone not starting when it wasn't plugged in.
This sounds dumb and I may just have been lucky but I turned USB debugging off and it stopped, left it off for a day or so, a couple restarts later I thought I'd see if it was still playing up so re-enabled it and nope everything's ok again. That was a couple weeks ago and so far so good, I hadn't seen any reports of anyone else with this.
Might be worth a try
Oh I'm using Darkys 9.5 by the way
My problem got worst! My phone would not charge at all until i reflashed. It now charge and boot normaly without to have it plugged, but my pc don't recognize it, not even in download mode with odin. I quess it has something to do with the hardwhare because both times the problem started when i charged it in the same plug.
i had the same problem,I just cleaned the usb port,plugged in the cable without connecting it to the pc or power source,and it started now it's ok
Me too
Another victim of this issue.
I was running a Darky Rom when I first noticed it... I think I was on Ficeto's 2.3.5 JVT. s
I have tried several steps to rid myself of this issue, with no success:
1. Reflashed ROM CWM
2. Reflashed Kernal CWM
3. Factory Reset, format internal SD, & ODIN flash Stock ROM.
4. Wipe & Flash Juwe ROM.
5. Each time, I also wiped the Dalvik Cache and battery stats.
I have tried leaving the battery out for a lengthy period, I have tried draining the battery all the way down, charging all the way up.
At least with the Launcher I am using now, it has the "Reboot" option instead of just turn off. However, I have to make sure I have a USB cable close by and charger in the car all the time now, just in case it runs out of juice or locks up for some reason and needs a battery pull.
Frustrating... Of course, the warranty expired the end of October.
If anyone has successfully completed the recommendation of formatting boot, system, data and cache and flashing stock Froyo? If you have done it, PLEASE post your detailed steps and the result so we don't waste time repeating something that won't work.
I was eyeing the SGS 2, but with all of the issues the market went through with the SGS, I am thinking maybe I should get away from Samsung...

Hello,
So my HTC is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked and I had a custom GPE rom on it. Everything was working fine for a long time. (S-ON btw)
So today I started experiencing problems with my HTC one. First off was that my device wouldn't follow my settings for auto-rotation of the screen. I wanted the screen orientation locked and it didn't want to listen. Then all of the sudden, I couldn't charge my phone when it was on. I could only charge it when in the boot loader menu. When I try to charge it when its off it shows that it is charging and then stops and glitches, then shows that it is charging again.
When I was connecting it earlier to my pc it was saying usb hardware malfunction (when my phone was off and I was trying to charge it).
I have tried a factory reset and it didn't help. Then I tried to put a new rom on the device and I wanted to use TWRP so I used fastboot usb to flash twrp. After I got the new rom on, charging still doesnt work. I can completely use the phone except I can't charge it while on.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Brent
EDIT: I can now use fastboot USB
I am now flashing a new GPE RUU to the device. I managed to get it to S-OFF. I hope this will fix the problem.
EDIT: It didn't fix the problem. I can still only charge my phone when its in fastboot usb mode. It also charges really slow. Everything else is fine though.
A day ago the battery got kinda low and I put it on charge. It started rebooting on its own while charging, I put it down to being low on battery and went along with my day. A few hours later I took it off charge and i was still rebooting itself after around 30 seconds being in the OS.
I thought it may be the ROM and did a wipe, after a wipe everything worked for 12 hours, it was even used outside and got real warm with no problems. Then I started uninstalling the apps that my old HTC Backup put back on and it did the same thing.
I did another wipe and just installed swiftkey (was NOT installed before) and then it started doing the exact same thing. I decided to try a different ROM in-case that would solve the problem, once I flashed a new ROM i restarted and it just took me into the bootloader and no further.
Recovery doesn't work, it just reboots. I tried plugging it in but all I get is it working for 10 seconds and then "USB Device not recognized". During the 10 seconds I still cant send ADB/Fastboot commands to it. I tried different PC's with and without USB 3.0 and 3 different cables. Before this ADB worked fine
All the drivers are correct, and I tried using HTC Sync drivers. (Even with the drivers uninstalled I get the error about it not being recognized)
Does anyone have any ideas? Or should I just sell it and move on?

Damn, sorry. Pretty sure you're out of luck if you can't connect to PC and you can't get into recovery. I'd give it straight into support now and give an excuse like update failed, randomly started restarting etc.
What OS Are you running? 8.1? I would suggest using a Linux Live Disc or Windows 7. its much more reliable.
I am pretty sure you need hboot 1.56+ for windows 8 to work correctly in Fastboot

usually when it boots into the os, then reboots after 30sec or so, the radio is borked. the radio is the last thing to load in the os
if you can get into the bootloader as it shows in your pic, you need to select FASTBOOT. what you see in the pic is youre in HBOOT mode, and that will not connect to a pc that way. ADB will not work in the bootloader in any case, so dont even try that. You should have your recovery.img file ready, get into the bootloader as you show, and select FASTBOOT. then flash your recovery with command-- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
however, if your radio is hosed, flashing a rom wont help you. You should probably do a RUU. Many RUU's work off fastboot mode, so get into that and start the RUU.exe
Hi.
Since yesterday my galaxy s3 lte i9305 does not boot anymore, the blue cyanogenmod logo keeps turning for hours. I can however still go to the recovery (which was a few month old cwm). I completely wiped the phone (both caches, data, internal sd, boot, firmware etc ... all but the modem) and reinstalled the newest cwm and the newest nightly build three times now using heimdall and the external sd (connected my external micro sd to my computer sd card reader via adapter and put the zip on it). Just now I installed twrp-2.8.5.0-i9305 as a new recovery and installed everything again, but everytime - and also now - despite the seemingly successful installation, the phone is stuck at the cyanogen bootlogo.
Any ideas on how to get my phone running again?
Cheers

I would try a factory reset from recovery and see if that helps. You did check the md5 for your downloads right?
Otherwise I would install the stock rom, then try again, this time(making sure you have a compatible recovery) just wipe caches, data, and format system, and then install CM

I did do the factory reset. I just wiped the areas separately as well. Anyway, I took your advice and installed the latest stock rom. Now I got the Samsung logo slightly flashing blue for hours instead of the cyanogenmod logo. Did not do anything else.
I suspect that its a battery issue in some way. The last weeks the phone lost its charge very quickly very often (not constantly though). Yesterday, the phone was in my pocket and then went off. It went into the constantly trying to restart despite the lack of batteries state until I removed the battery. Maybe that gives any clue?

Try booting into stock recovery, then factory reset from there. Last time I went back to stock I had a bootloop until I did this, then it booted properly. If that doesn't work, maybe try new battery.
Have you tried booting up whilst plugged in to a usb charger?

Thanks for your helpful input.
I did what you said, even tried it twice now. Phone is still booting after 20 minutes now. I also tried booting up while charging the phone, yes. That was my standard procedure actually, but nothing changes when I unplug it. I don't have a different battery and I am wary of buying one just for the sake of trying. Tried that when my galaxy s 1 broke down and that didn't save the phone. At this point I am contemplating if the phone (s3) is broken now or not. It still reliably boots to the recovery, but it doesn't do much else. How are the chances?
Or has anyone any idea on how to proceed?

Try to boot into recovery. Do a factory reset then boot straight into download mode and flash stock rom. You might have to redownload the firmware it could be corrupted.. If that doesn't work then you might have to send it in. It might cost about to fix. Or go to your local phone repair shop and see if they could fix it for cheaper
